Reducing the Number of Uninsured Through Education
Late last year the federal government announced that over 11 million Americans with a family income over $50,000 have no health insurance.
This report was based on 2004 census data. A new report issued February 28, 2005) by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) figure puts the number at 7.9 million.
Both calculations are based on the same census data but the EBRI concludes that some sampling error distorted the government calculation.
This figure is important because it generally represents the group that could afford health insurance, but either chooses to be uninsured or does not know about the affordable health insurance options that are available.
This higher income group represents about a quarter of all U.S. individuals without health insurance.
The overall number of middle-income individuals who could afford health insurance but do not make the decision to purchase insurance is estimated at about 20 million, or about half of all of those without health insurance.
Other previously reported data indicates that most middle-income people in this uninsured category are in a temporary life transition and are without health insurance for only a short period of time.
The situation may be caused by changing jobs, graduating from school, satisfying waiting periods on group insurance, starting a business or waiting for Medicare coverage to begin.
MedSave.com specializes in providing low cost temporary health insurance online to the individuals in this category.
MedSave.com spends a significant part of its marketing efforts publishing educational information to show that high quality affordable health insurance options are available to most people through online enrollment services.Regardless of the actual number of uninsured people in this group, most observers agree that it would be far less expensive to educate uninsured individuals about the options available and the risks of being uninsured than to adapt a federal program that would require that those individuals be covered by health insurance.
This group is best served by educational programs about health care financing options and promotion of affordable and available health insurance plans rather than legally mandated managed health care programs.MedSave.com points out that about half of personal bankruptcies are triggered by uninsured catastrophic medical claims but that most Americans in this risk class can purchase high deductible catastrophic health insurance for less than $100 per month that would prevent such financial disasters..

Franklin Data Unveils Its Pricing Model for the Firm's Electronic Data Discovery (EDD) Services to Law Firms, Corporations, and Government Agencies
(ContentDesk) July 26, 2004 --In a niche business like processing electronic evidence, law firms, corporations, and government agencies find themselves falling victim to quoted image counts between 50,000 to 100,000 per gigabyte of data to be processed.
This is an estimate but nonetheless a 100% variable.
In the wake of an outbreak like electronic data discovery, the million dollar question continues to be how much it will cost and how many images will be the result.
Reasons for these two questions stem from an industry built on "click charges" which, in some cases, can be 3 clicks to create a single image with text and metadata output.
Just about every litigation support service bureau that offers electronic evidence as a service, charge their clients by the image, text, and metadata or by each.
Whichever the client chooses, the cost will typically hit at least 10 cents per image and upwards of 20 cents depending on who you use and or how...

Electric Generators: Understanding Your Power Needs
In order to choose the right emergency power source and to size it properly, you need to understand something about the power requirements of the devices you plan to operate.
The basic unit of power measurement is the watt, and with an emergency power source there are two wattage ratings that are important: steady-state wattage and surge wattage. A normal 60-watt incandescent light bulb requires, as you would expect, 60 watts, and it requires that wattage both when you turn it...
